Koay Teow Th’ng
If there’s one Penang delicacy Cat is especially fond of, it’s Koay Teow Th’ng. Th’ng means “soup” in Hokkien — a nod to the clear, comforting broth that Chinese immigrants brought to Malaysia centuries ago. The flavours are simple: a light pork or chicken broth, soft slippery koay teow, and that unmistakable Penang warmth.
Because of this, we were up at 7:30am and made our way to the Chowrasta Morning Market half an hour later. Brendan decided to sleep in and didn’t join us.
Breakfast at Chowrasta
No surprises here — Cat ordered her beloved Koay Teow Th’ng. I went for the customary Western Breakfast (B Set), and with a round of drinks, our typical Penang breakfast came to RM17.20 (≈ USD/EUR4).
After eating, we wandered through the morning market, and in that short time Cat managed to pick up:
- A colourful batik blouse — RM8.00
- Long pants — RM20.00
- 4 sets of batik pyjamas — RM25.00 each
Total: RM128.00 (≈ USD29/EUR27).
We also bought several packets of mixed fruits for RM9.00 (≈ USD/EUR2), and finally two printed tote bags as souvenirs for friends at RM20.00 (≈ USD/EUR4) each.
With our morning haul complete, we headed back to the hotel.
What’s Next
Stay tuned as we head to a mall for lunch for a change.
